Byrnie I think you may have asked me about these hoses or it may have been Lek. People this is common sense...hoses do NOTHING for your car and are strictly cosmetic. What would you expect a hose to do for you?? Other than being made of silicon and probably longer lasting than OEM...they are strictly cosmetic!! What does the NGC sticker do?? It definitely doesnt add HP!!

Would figure they make your car look good as well as lasting longer than stock. But with a CB coupe not sure what color would look nice. Blue might add too much blue to the car. hmmm.........

Benj, go with a theme then with a color. Possibly black - that will match almost anything.

I agree w/ Pratik. Choose a theme/color and try to stick with it. EX. Red calipers, red hoses, red grounding kit, red painted panels etc...

puria is so patient with us... I thought maybe they were wider hoses therefore they might carry more fluid, maybe making the car cooler at idle or something...I don't know. I'm a newbie.

hahaha, byrnie my bad i apologize. but if the hoses were to be larger how would they fit on the stock motor?? the openings which carry and hold the antifreeze/coolant dont grow to allow increased fluid to pass through to make the car idle cooler or to run cooler. Now if you swap your radiator for a larger one, that might help with cooling as it increases the volume, but those advantages might not be seen with our driving styles, perhaps only on a track.

thanks pratik for passing on the word...

yes, these hoses are purely cosmetic. i will also be putting together a pi-thon lock group buy as well. and yes, these locks are also cosmetic.

people may claim other stuff, but the main reason to buy is to dress up the engine bay. plus it will help your addiction mod

check my website in the next week to week and a half for the pi-thon GB.

we now have 10 people, so if they all follow through, we are currently at a $140.00 pricing structure for the Samco hoses.

www.yellowg35.com/samcolist.html

5 more people puts us at $130.00

thank you for your support and please continue to pass the word.
